1969 K5 Blazer - Up In a Blaze! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

azngosh8r · 12-30-2007, 05:19 PM

We were just a few days from completion on our 1969 Blazer. The shop (not our shop) burned to the ground with our Blazer in it! A total loss!!!
Its was gonna be in the world of wheels show here on Jan 11th.
Sucks! really sucks bad! No insurance yet either!

vtblazer · 12-30-2007, 05:37 PM

But why wouldn't the shop's insurance cover it?

1966gmc · 12-30-2007, 05:39 PM

F that!! The shop's insurance better cover that

NEVERENOUGH · 12-30-2007, 05:50 PM

Dang bro that sucks bad. Hope the shops insurance covers it for you .

1969k10stepside · 12-30-2007, 05:53 PM

That sucks! I would be wanting some major $$$ for this.They should be repsonsible for it.

Slick71 · 12-30-2007, 06:12 PM

Man...that does Suck! You got any pictures of it throughout the build you could share with us??

bouncytruck · 12-30-2007, 07:38 PM

I'd be talking to a lawyer asap.

krue · 12-30-2007, 07:55 PM

The shop is liable.

72BlckButy · 12-30-2007, 08:17 PM

as well... the shop is definitely liable.

streetstar · 12-30-2007, 08:28 PM

The shop is not always liable - it depends on what kind of shopkeepers insurance policy they have

In this case, i hope they have the right type of policy though, or you will have to sue them.

Even the best working relationships get strained when it comes to sacking up for a big loss like that

Chevyman63 · 12-31-2007, 01:48 AM

WOW...major bummer! Sorry for your loss.

LUV2XCLR8 · 12-31-2007, 03:41 AM

DAMN THAT SUCKS

Webrigs · 12-31-2007, 04:07 AM

Very sorry for your loss!

Odds are good there will be a line of people with claims of their own; try to be at the front of that line and be the squeaky wheel about getting some compensation...

toomanytoyz · 12-31-2007, 04:17 AM

Was that the One with the Skull Flames?? If so that looked like it was Gonna be a Killer Ride..........

Rick

TonyJohnson · 12-31-2007, 04:54 AM

Sorry, man...

**Yukon Jack** · 12-31-2007, 06:13 AM

Wow, sorry for that terrible news!

**Thealien** · 12-31-2007, 06:15 AM

Sorry for your loss, good luck with the shop.

Damn...

bouncytruck · 12-31-2007, 09:10 AM

gringoloco, that's looks like a Pickup, not a blazer.

**lks dcvn** · 12-31-2007, 09:53 AM

that is just horrible - good luck!

azngosh8r · 01-03-2008, 05:25 AM

Thanks for the comments. Yes the shops insurance company says they have insurance but the total liability for the fire is $30k and the Blazer was one of 6 vehicles totally lost. Thats not gonna work! The Blazer was worth 25K itself...

azngosh8r · 01-03-2008, 08:00 AM

Pics of 2 weeks before the fire...right out of the paint booth

bouncytruck · 01-03-2008, 11:15 AM

I'd still be talking to a lawyer - Squeeky wheel gets the grease.

Big J · 01-03-2008, 03:57 PM

That is just a shame. It looked like a really clean straight
K5. The color is awesome! I agree with Bouncy, your gonna have to go the lawyer route. I imagine they had over30K in tools. If the other rides in there were as nice as yours its probably a loss of 250,000 or more in vehicles. I hope it all turns out ok, I'm prayin' for ya.

Terrible situation, keep us updated.
